I really don't understand all the talk about Gerson. I can't even start to understand where the 11M amount came from.
I will repeat: he NEVER played for the pros. He was simply one of the best prospects of Fluminense U18.
He's not known in Brazil, and the fact he was called up for the U20 was a surprise. I mean, the kid is only 17 and is clearly not a spectacular talent. It says a lot about the lack of quality in Brazil's youth.
He's a good prospect but a huge gamble. More than 5M (and only because he plays for Brazil U20) is too much for him. People doesn't even know how he plays yet. I don't know if he can defend, trace back or anything like that.
Fluminense's director said 11M for him was a joke lol. This guy is a rookie who just got promoted to Fluminense SD 1 month ago from the youth ranks. He just wants to show off. Anything more than 5M is not realistic.
If I'm Juve I'd look to Marlon, the CB. He's low profile, but highly mature and efficient. Very good on ball playing. He'd definitely be worth the invesment. The guy really looks like Juan (of Roma)
